Swamini Nigamananda said, “Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati has spent a major part of his life at AVG, Anaikatti. Hence we are able to feel the divine vibration, presence and blessings of Pujya Swamiji at AVG, Anaikatti. All of us were well taken care by the Acharyas, Swamis, Swaminis and Staff. The students wanted to experience our old great Gurukulam culture and here, all their wishes were fulfilled by a serene, spiritual and peaceful atmosphere. We are thankful for AVG’s unique hospitality.”

“Nature is at her best here in the Gurukulam. …” “The Gurukulam is located in a beautiful location, surrounded by Blue Mountains, with natural flora and fauna, cool breeze, two temples and twittering of the birds. …..

“It was a pleasant experience visiting the Kutia of Pujya Swamiji, Art Gallery on Pujya Swamiji and the temples. I appreciate the vision of Pujya Swamiji to provide such a natural environment for study of Hinduism.” – These are few feedback from the campers
